Description
1 This appeal challenges an ordinance establishing a voter-approved sales tax to fund the City of Enids purchase of the Phillips University campus. Five issues are presented: (1) Is the ordinance an expenditure of public funds for a private purpose in violation of article 10, section 14 of the Oklahoma Constitution? (2) Does the ordinance violate article 10, section 17, of the Oklahoma Constitution which prohibits government lending of credit to a private entity? (3) Does the ordinance aid a sectarian institution in violation of article 2, section 5 of the Oklahoma Constitution? (4) Is the ordinance unconstitutionally vague? (5) Are the provisions of the ordinance severable? Because we answer the first four issues in the negative and uphold the ordinance, the fifth issue need not be addressed.
